WHY? 


J'.CAl'SFC  we  hiivf  just  rctiirnud  from  the  most  deliKjlitful  trip  that  ever  summer  time 
has  furnislictl  to  ii»;   because  we  have  thorouKhiy  explored  ;»  reijion  that,  whm   its 
beauties  and   advantajjcs  for  summer  recp-ation    iiecome  jjeiu-rally   known,    is  bouiul 
lo   hfcome   famous   among   those   who   annually   seek  a  change  from   home  life  and 
home  scenes;   because  we  are  convinced  that  nowhere  can  be  fountl  so  many  attrac- 
tions for  the  sumnuT  tourint  at  so  moderate  a  cost  and      'th  sucli    beneficial    reiuilts  to 
,the  mind  and  body;  and  because  we  leel  a  sense  of  gratitude  toward  the  courteous  people 
Nova  Scotia  for  the  many  acts  of  kindness  which  made  our  trip  so  agreeable  and  pleasant 
that   |)artinK'  was  pain,  we  take  our  pen  in  hand  tc  set  forth  as   best  we  may  the  delights  of  a  country 
so  woiul'jrfiilly  l)lesscd  by  nature  and  so  greatly  enriched  by  man. 
Could  we  but  do  our  subject   justice  ; 

Could  we  but  set  forth,  in  terms  that  would  transmit  to  others  those  in.;piring  thoughts  and  feelings  which  tilled 
our  minds  and  hearts  as  we  journeyed  through  this  beautiful  jirovince  where  the  grand  and  sublime  so  mingle  with 
the  peaceful  and  beautiful ; 

Could  we  but  be  the  means  of  bestowing  upon  all  our  fellow  men  the  i)enefits  which  were  derived  from  our  trip 
in  health  and  vigor,  we  would  feel  amply  repaid  for  our  time. 

Hut  should  you,  reader,  perchance  have  not  visited  this  country,  seemingly  designed  as  nature's  great  |)la) -ground 
for  New  England  perple,  do  not  faii  to  make  it  the  objective  point  of  your  next  outing,  and  share  with  us  the  joys 
we  there  experienced. 

The  sail  on  old  ocean's  kindly  bosom,  always  smooth  in  the  summer  season,  will  give  you  delight.

Until  we  jrot  outside  llie  iiarbor  1  was  kept  inisy  by  iNJax, 
as  view  alter   view   presenled   itself  to    his   ardent    eyes, 
and  lie  could  not  handle  his   camera    fast  enouj,di  to 
take  them  all  in. 

As  for  myself,  the  si.i,dits  nearer  by,  on  deck 

and    in    tlie  cabins,   were  more   attractive.      The 

=-  -  decks  were  protected  from  the  glare  of  the  sun 

,.  ,     ,       ,  ,    .  . ,      " -^      -  •  -  by    large   awnings,    sui)ported    by    stanchions    of 

polished  oak,  and   in  every  nook_  and   cofnSr  were„chiltered  groups  of  people  bent  upon  pleasure. 

It  was  not  untJl  I  had^vandered-  over  the  entire  boat  and  in.spected  the  ponderous  engines,  that  I  rememl)ere<l  Inv- 
ing  heard  the  dinner  gong  soon  after  leaving  Boston,  and,  tearing  Max  away  from  his  camera  while  he  was  in  the  act 
of  taking  :.  snap  shot  at  a  young  couple  who  were  .standing  near  the  rail,  I  conducted  him  down  to  the  elegantly 
appomt.'d  dming  room  and  sat  down  to  an  excellent  meal.  While  we  were  at  the  table  v..rd  came  that  a  stateroom 
winch  had  been  engaged  but  not  claimed,  was  at  our  disposal.  This  fortunate  accjuisition  made  us  supremely  com- 
fortable, and  the  remainder  of  the  tnn  was  made  with  such  restful  enjoyment  as  I  have  sel.lom  cxperienred.  The 
various  scenes  and  incidents  on  the  boat  served  to  entertain  the  mind,  while  the 
•soft  motion  of  the  boai  gradually  lulled  the  senses  into  a  condition  of 
repo.se  which  culminated  in  a  night  of  refreshing  sleep. 

No  dust,  no  rattle,  no  roar  ;  only  the  re^^ular  pulsation  of  the 
boat,  which,  as  1  became  drowsy,  seemed  almo.st  a  lullaby  of  the  deep. 
A  desire  to  see  the  sun  rise  in  mid-ocean  called  me  uj)  early  in 
the  morning,  and  never  before  did  1  so  realize  the  grandeur  of  nature.— ' 
The  vast  expan.se  of  limitless  blue,  marked  only  by  the  line  between 
the    sky  and    water,  became    in    the    east    gradually    lighter    .uid    more 

golden  hued,    until    the  edge  of   His  Majesty,   the  Sun,   appeared    al):)ve  ._.«,,  — «^^™— r:^

tract   of  seemingly   nujiiltoii   gold  directly   in   the  trark   of  the   steamer.      Many   there   were 
a!)oaril  that  steamer  who  arose  at  that  unusual  hour  to  witness  the  sight,  who  will   never  for- 
'    get  it.     Few  words  were  spoken,  for  all  felt  a  sense  of  awe  before  that  mighty  creation. 
Hut,   pshaw  !     Why  try  to   describe   the    indescribable.     The   scene   must   be    wit- 
nessed to  be  appreciated,  for  it  appeals  not  only  to  the  sight  but  to  the  soul  as  well. 
As  daylight    dawned    land    appeared    in  the  distance,  and    the  number  of  pas- 
sengers on    deck    rapidly  increased.     When    the   breakfast    bell   sounded    the  tables 
were  (juickly  filled,   for  ajjpetites  had  been  sharpened  by  the  refreshing  breeze.     I 
found  myself  unable   to    wait   for   breakfast    at    the    hotel,   so  joined  the  first  riis-li 
for  the  taijles. 

About  six  o'clock  we  made  fast  to  the  wharf  at  ^'arnlouth,  and  went  ashore. 
Here,  again,  our  sense  of  the  amusing  was  awakened,  and  we  spent  full  two 
hours  on  the  wharf  watching  the  movements  of  the  crowd  takings  their  dejiarture 
for  the    various    destinations    for    which  they  were   bound — some  to 
the  hotels  ;    some  to  the  railroad  trains  ;   some 
was  .-ibout  to  depart  for  Halifax  and  the  beaut 
the  south  shore  ;    some  to  the  coaches  ;    and 
many  on  their  wheels  to  make  a  tour  of  the  province. 

One  old  gentleman  in  particular.    >vho  had  been  wheezing  and  sneezing 
with  hay  fever  the  previous  evening,  and  who  seemed    to  be  disgusted  with 
life  in  general,   attracted  our  attention  as  he  left   the  boat.     The  atmos|)here^ 
of  \'armouth    seemed    to    !ia\e   already   made   a    remarkable    change    in   his 
temperament.       With    bright    eyes    and    smiling   countenance    he    u.is    hustlini 
about  to   get  his   baggage  examined,  and    at    the  same  time  making  all  kind 
inquiries  as  to  the    hotels  and  Jimate.     We  could   have  told    him  then  and 
that   there  is  no    better  'dimate  in    the    world    for    the  sufferer    from    hav  fever  than

\ARMOUTH. 


^HE  noted  hospitality  of  Varniouth  lias  not  been  overdrawn.  Everywhere  we  were 
met  with  genial  courtesy  and  rci.dy  response  to  our  every  desire,  and  except  for  an  air 
of  easier  sociability,  or  greater  trust  of  humanity  in  general,  one  might  well  imagine 
lumsell  in  a  New  England  town.  The  solution  of  this  similarity  of  habits  and  cus- 
toms lies  in  the  fact  that  Yarmouth  was  founded  by  New  Englanders,  and  all  these 
^jjeople,  although  they  may  have  lived  there  all  their  lives,  and  their  ancestors  before 
||them,  are  New  Englanders  but  a  little  removed. 

After   Governor   Lawrence,  by  his  proclamation   issued   from  Halifax   in  1758,  had 

vanished  the  poor  Acadians  from   their  homes,  he  issued  another   proclamation  inviting 

settlers  to  come  from  the  colonies  further  south  and  people  this  region,  and  three  years 

hiter    in    1761,    a   couple    of   Massachusetts  men,  -  Cape    Codders, -Sealed    Landers   and

Its  hiiildinjTs  are,  as  a  rule,  larpe  and  substantial  structures, 
surroundeil  by  beautiful  jrrouiuls,  with  vvell-ke{)t  hedges  and 
flourishing  shade  trees.  These  hedgerows  are  some  of  haw-

left  to  grow  to  their  natural  height, — fifteen  or  twenty  feet,

straight,  trimmed  with  mathematical  precision,  others  in  all  kinds

Prominent  among  the  private  estates  are  those  of  Rc*^ert 
Caie,  1;m|.,  and  Hon.  L.  K.  Baker.  The  tourist  should  not  fail 
to  visit  these  places,  where  he  will  be  made-  welcome  and  may 
least  his  eyes  for  iiours  on  the  beauties  of  nature,  embellished  by  all 
that  art  can  do  in  the  cultivation  of  shrubbery,  flowers,  and  fruits 
The  Grand  Hotel,  which  is  located  on  Main  street,  just  beyond  the  business  section,  is  imiversally  acknowledged 
one  of  the  most  attractive  hn-.els  in  the  provinces,  in  flict,  it  is  the  third  best  in  British  North  America.'  It  is  a  large 
substantial  structure,  of  brick  and  freestone,  erected  on  the  most  conmianding  site  in  the  city.  It  is  liberally  nipplied 
with  parlors,  drawing-rooms,  smoking-rooms,  writing-rooms,  capacious  hallways,  and  evervthing  that  goes  to  make  the 
stranger  comfortable,  while  the  sociability  of  the  guests-  is  of  such  a  good-humored  nature,  'yet  refined  and 
graceful,  that  one  cannot  help  i)ut  feel  at  home  and  enjoy  his  surroundings.  From  its  large  office,  from  all  its  front 
rooms,  and  from  any  spot  on  its  generous  piazzas,  you  get  a  most  extensive  view,  while  from  the  conning  tower  on 
the  roof  a  birds-eyc  view  of  the  entire  country  about  may  be  had,  with  the  waters  of  the  harbor  and  the  Bay  of 
Fuiuly  to  the  westward  as  far  as  the  eye  can  reach.  It  is  a  superb. view.  One  niav  take  his  ease  in  the  comfort- 
able chairs  on  the  piazza,  and  watch  the  busy  craft  flying  about  the  harbor  among  its  green  islands  while  beyond 
the  rocky  ridge  and  on  the  other  side  of  Bay  View,  far  away  on  the  Bay  of  Fundy,  may  be  seen  the  vessels  of  com- 
merce, until  their  white  sails  disappear  in  the  distance.

In  fact,  hours  may  be  spent  in  most  delijihtlnl  and  most  restfnl 

occupation  nYyatching  this  ever  chan^nng  panorama  ;  and  then. 

when  the  nund  is  sufficiently  stored  with  the  wonders  of  nature  and 

art,  and  tlie  ai.petite  begins  to  clamor  for  the    immediate  neces- 
sities of  hfe,  the  dming-room,  with  its  wonderfully  clean  linen  and 

tidy  waiters    flitting   about    in    their    demure   white    aprons   and 

white  caps,  presents  a  sight    to  tempt    ihe  gods;  and    this  is  in 

no  wise  lessened  by  the  savory  aroma  of  the  well-cooked  viands 

which   serve   to   satisfy  the  most  fastidious,   and  relieve  the  dys- 
peptic of  all  fear  of  discomlhrt. 

Yarmouth  has  reason  to  be  proud  of  this  hotel,  and  we 
Americans,  who  are  inclined  to  believe  that  we  are  th-  onlv 
people  on  this  side  of  the  water  that  have  perfectly  appointed 
hotels,  must  hole,  up  our  hands  and  yield  to  Yarmouth  the 
credit  of  maintaining  a  hotel  of  which  any  city  in  the  United

would  ami)ly  repay  the  lover  of  nature  for  any  time  or  trouble 
he  might  spend  to  get  there. 

\hi.\  and  I  started  out  early  one  morning  for  a  sail  among 
these  islands  of  which  we  had  heard  so  many  rapturous  excla- 
mations of  delight,  and  we  were  not  dis<  ^  pointed  in  our  expec- 
tations of  witnessing  the  superiority  of  nature  over  art.  Neither 
pen  nor  brush  could  depict  the  beauties  of  that  cluster  of  three 
umdred  and  sixty-hve  islands,  gathered  together  as  a  bou,,uet  ol  old  ocean,  then-  vau.d  '^  .'^  ^^''^J  ^^  ^^  ^

well  that  he  alterwanls    became   the  caiJtain  of  a    man-ol-war,  and    was  knighted 
by  the  Kinjf. 

Ten  iniL's  from    Vannoulh  we  passed   through  Tusket,  celebrated  principally 
for  its   saimon  and    trouting    river   and    its    beautiful    bay,   with  its    island  for  each 
day    in    the    year.     The    place    was    settled    by    Loyalists   from     New    Yo<-k    and 
Connecticut. 

Belleville  and  Eel  Brook,  on  the  shores  of  a  beautiful  lake  five  miles  long,  which 
abounds  with  the  finest  of  tish,   are  but  a  short  distance  from  Tusket.     They  arc 
both    l-'rench    Acadian    seltlements.     The  next  station   is   Argyle,  settled    originally 
i)y  western  Highlanders  of  Scotland,  who    were   soon  outnumbered  by  people  from  ^ 

New  England.     The  plac"  was  fitly  named  after  one  of  the  most  beautiful  portions  of  t)kl  S"cotwT 

.Skirting  the  shore  another  eight  miles  the  road  readies  the  I'>ench  Acadian  settlement  oi  I'ouboncourt,  anglicised 
as  Pubnico.  the  oldest  French  Acadian  settlement  in  the  world.  Nova  Scotia  is  as  democratic  a  country  as  New  Eng- 
land itself  But  if  heredity  counts  for  anything,  the  hardy  Acadian  fishermen  of  I'ubnico  are  among  the  most  aristo- 
cratic people  of  the  continent.  Pubnico  was  founded,  in  about  1650,  by  Major  I'hillipe  Mius  D'Entremont,  Baron  de 
Bouboncourt,  a  scion  of  the  Royal  House  of  Bourbon,  who  was  associated  with  Charles  LaTour  in  his  unsuccessful 
effort  to  sa\e  Acadia  for  the  crown  of  France.  Fxron  Pouboncourt  lived  ti  be  a  centenarian,  and  his  bones  now  re.st 
ill  the  village  which  he  founded.  Thus  it  comes  that  the  blue.st  blood  of  I'"rance  courses  through  the  veins  of  the 
brave  fish'Tmen  of  this  thriving  French  Acadian  settlement.  The  story  of  how  the  ancestors  n\  these  people  hid 
tiiemselves  in  the  forest,  and  the  privations  they  endured  there  after  the  e.xpulsion  of  their  compatriots  from  Craiid 
Pre,  forms  a  thrilling  chapter  of  local  history. 

Passini;  through  Wood's  Harbor  ( originally  named  by  the  Indians  Cock-a-wick  )  and  Shag  Harbor,  we  soon 
,.e;,c!,o<i  Barrington,  whore  we  were  to  stop  over  for  a  day.  in  order  to  visit  Cape  Sable  Island  with  its  wonderful 
beach.  We  found  Barrington  itself  so  interesting,  with  its  long  pier,  its  old  Presbyterian  church,  its  crowd  of  ga>- 
summer  visitors,  and  its  comfortable  hotels,  that  we  were  fain  to  stay  over  a  day  longer  than  we  had  intended,  and 
we  were  well  pleased  with  the  change  in  our  programme.

yARRL\(;TON  is  a  settlement  on  the  stage  road  from  Yarmouth  to  Shelburnc  — in  (act, 
from  Yarmouth  to  Halifax,  for  the  different  stage  lines  connect  all  the  way  through  - 
and  all  its  houses  are  built  along  this  road,  the  town  stretching  out  along  die  harbor 
four  or  five  miles,  and  being  divided  into  four  distinct  settlements,  ~  Harrington,  Bar- 
rmgton  Passage,  Doctor's  Cove  and  Village  Dale.  Back  of  the  road  and  the  adjoin- 
mg  farm  lands  dense  forests  pre\ail,  and  of^br  the  best  of  sport  to  those  who  are  in 
quest  of  game,  for  there,  within  a  short  distance  from  the  town,  can  be  secured,  with 
little  or  no  discomfort,  that  wary  denizen  of  the  forest,  the  moose,  while  the  woods  are 
UiU  ot  .vmaller  game,  partridge  and  woodcock  being  plenti.ul.  The  favorite  resort  for  the  moose 
hunter  is  Cranberry  Pond,  which  can  be  reached  to  within  two  miles  bv  carriage.  Grea^  Lake  about 
twelve  miles  f^-om  Barnngton,  which  is  the  source  of  both  the  Pubnico  and  Harrington  rivers,  is  also  a  po.iular  resort 
for  bocn  the  hunter  and  hsherman.  Innumerable  brooks  and  rners  also  ofTer  a  diversitv  of  sport  for  the  enthusiast 
while  at  any  pomt  in  the  harbor  the  best  of  duck  and  coot  shooting  is  to  be  had. 

Harri.igton  Heach.  about  a  mile  long,  is  a  popular  resort,  where  clam  bakes  are  often  served  and  where  pleasure 
boats  may  be  secured,  or  the  lu.xury  of  salt  water  bathing  i,i  water  not  too  cold  may  be  enjoyed.  Picnic  ..arties  on 
Harrington  Ruer  are  numerous,  and  many  camps  are  located  along  its  banks  where  New  Englanders  are  snen.ling  a 
restful  summer.  '  ^ 

In  the  winter  time,   many  of  the  inhabitants  find  lucrative  occupation  in  smelt    fishing  through  the  i.e 
I  he  afternoon  we  spent  m  cruising  about  the  harbor,   inspecting  the  light-ship  in   Harrington  Passage  and   Haccaro 
i^ht  at  the  entrance  to  the  harbor.      In  the   morning  we    took  the   ferry-'3oat,    Yuba,  and  crossed    over  to   Cape  S.ble 
Island,   the  most  southerly  point  of  Nova  Scotia.     When   you  land  here,    remember  that  from   the  standpoint  of  civil- 
ized occupation  you  are  standing  on  the  oldest  tract  of  land  in  the  two  Americas.     Here  is  where  Lief  Krioson  landed 
full  hve  hundred  years  before  Columbus  dreamed  of  America. 

Thc-^island  contains  several  square  miles  and  three  or  four  thrifty  l.ttle  villages,  the  two  principal  ones  being 
Cla.ks  Harbor  and  Centerville.  At  Clark's  Harbor,  a  new,  large  and  commodious  hotel  has  been  erected  for  the 
accommodation  ol   summer  visitors,  and  many  there  are  who  tind  sufficient  attraction  here  to  linger  all  sunuiier      The

SHELBURNE   AND    ITS   WONDERFUL    HISTORY. 

OT  moil'    woiKhrlnl    is    thr    rise    and    fall    of  old    ocean's    tide  than  was  the   ri.se  and    fall  of  Shelh.irne,       It 
ua,    to    he    a    i,n-eat    metropolis.        It    was    planned    on  a  generous    srale.    People  of   no   ordinary  rlav,    who 
erstoofl    the  valne  of  its  wonderful    harbor,  were  to    make  this  the  head  cent.- r  of  civilization. 

^  I'he  revolntionary  war  was  over.      ( ;eors>e  of  En.uland  had  recalled  his  troops, 

and  (ieorye  of  Virtjinia  was  supreme  from  Maine  to  Ceor^ia.  In  the  larger  cities 
of  the  I'nitcd  .States  were  many  who  had  been  loyalists,  and  who  did  not  relish 
liieir  position  luuler  the  new  re^nnie.  They  had  n(,  Io\.-  for  a  republic  or  an 
txperimental  government,  and  longed  to  get  l>ack  under  the  old  flag.  .So  they 
_  :e.  Captain  White,  secretary  of  the  New  York  .society,  got  them  together,  many  from  Haltiuiore 
ferphia  joining  their  ranks.  They  built  their  houses,  readv  for  erection,  in  \ew  ^■ork,  and  loaded  them  on 
a  fleet  (.1  twenty  lingli.sh  ves.sels,— men-of-war,  s<iuare-rigged  ships,  schooners  and  sloops,— and,  taking  their  slaves 
aloni>  to  do  the  work,  departed  for  Nova  Scotia.  Capt.  White  had  previou.sly  seen  Shelburne  harbor  and,  one  bright 
morning  m  May,  ij.S^,  conducted  his  followers  to  its  headwaters,  where,  on  a  beautilul  stretch  of  land  nestling  at  the 
foot  of  sm-rounding  hills,  and  plentifully  supplied  with  an  abundance  of  pure  fresh  water,  they  disembarked  and  com- 
menced the  construction  of  what  was  to  be  the  finest  citv  in  the  new  world. 
.-\nd  wh     should  it  not  have  been? 

With  its  magnificent  harbor  — the  finest  .m  th.'  .Atlantic  coast  —  ten  miles  long  by  tiiree  wide,  entirely  land- 
locked, and  with  a  channel  deep  enough  for  the  largest  craft  afloat:  with  every  advantage  that  nature  coul.!  bcstcw  ; 
with  a  location  more  advantageous  in  evers-  way  for  commerce  than  is  po.ssessed  by  the  principal  shipping  ports  of 
to-day  ;    .Shelburne  should  indeed  have  played  an  important  part  in  the  history  of  the  world. 

In  the  following  September  another  fleet  of  almost  equal  size  and  laden  in  the  same  «ay,  landed  its  freight  of 
tamihes  and  buildings,  and  the  new  city  was  inaugurated  with  a  population  of  i4,o,xd  souls.  '  Within  a  year,  three 
million  dollars  — in  those  days  an  immen.se  sum  — had   been  expended  on  it,  and   when  Gov.    Parr  sailed   from  Halifa.x

River  the  |ordan  River,  the  Sable  River,  an.!  Toin  Tidneau  River.  As  usual  in  such  cases,  those  who  prefer  the 
smallJr  tish 'extol  the  merits  of  the  Clvde  and  Toir,  Ti-lncau  Rivers,  while  those  who  have  experienced  the  excite- 
ment of  lamling  a  gainev  salmon  or  deep  sea  Irnut  are  loud  in  their  advocacy  of  the  Jord.in  and  Sable  Rivers. 
But  all  are  satisfied,'  ami'  thev  have  good  reason  t.)  be,  -or  there  is  no  better  si)ort  to  be  had  on  this  side  of  the 
continent  than  right  here.  The  Clvde  is  divided  mto  Upper,  Middle  and  Lower  Clyde,  and  has  perhaps  a  hundred 
tributarv  lakes  all  full  of  tish.  The  iordan  Ri\cr,  because  of  its  rapid  waters,  has  been  very  little  tished,  but  it  is  a 
famous '.salmon  stream,  and  has  yielded  t,.  a  singl..  tishemian,  in  a  single  dav,  no  less  than  twelve  salmon,  ranging  m 
weight  from  nine  to  thirty  pounds.

Hvve,  too,  in  the  proi)er  srason,  is  excellent  .sliootin^,  all  varieties  of  jrame  being  plentiful.  Moose  hunting  is 
the  lavorite  sport,  and  from  here  many  a  head  and  |)air  of  broad  antlers  has  found  its  way  to  the  States.  The  moose  is  a 
very  elusive  fellow,  singularly  sagacious,  and  shrewii  and  shifty.  lie  knows  of  your  coming  while  you  are  yet  a 
great  way  otil.  His  ears  are  keen  and  his  nostrils,  too,  and  \(mi  have  got  to  get  to  the  leeward  of  him  or  he  will 
scent  you  in  a  moment  —  a  wary  fellow,  always  on  his  guard  — and  when  you  have  put  a  bull  moose  in  your  bag 
you  have  thoroughly  jiroxed  your  right  to  carry  a  gun.  Von  will  probably  not  be  able  to  do  much  at  nioose  hunt- 
mg  unless  you  take  a  local  companion  with  you,  one  who  from  years  of  practice  can  give  the  moose  call  so  perfectly 
that  the  moose  himself  is  deceived.  \'ou  may  think  you  can  do  this  yourself  after  a  few  trials,  but  if  you  attemj)! 
It  you  will  simply  afford  great  amusem.nt  to  your  c<)mi)anion,  and  thf  moose,  on  Hearing  it,  will  take  to  his  heeN 
with  great  rapidity. 

It  was  here,  on  the  second  evening  of  our  stay,  that  1  caught  my  friend  Ma.x  in  his  devotions  to  the  beauty  he 
had  lefi  in  Yarmouth,  and  discovered  why  it  had  been  so  difficult  to  get  him  away  from  there.  ^ 

After  supper  I   had  told  him  that   I   was  going   for   a   stroll,  and,  lighting   a    fragrant    Hav- 
ana,  started  out.      I  had  not  gone  tin-  before  I   was  attracted  by  the  picturesque  location 
of  a  beautiful  little  summer   house  located   on   the  shore  of  the  harbor,   which  had 
heretofore  escaped    my  notice.      It  struck  me  as  so  artistic    that    I    at   once   turned 
back  to  get  Ma.x,  thinking  he  might  like  to  photograph  it    by  the  morning 
light  which  wojld  appear  especially  beautiful  on  the  water. 

Kntering  the  hotel    I    found    Max  at   the  wrif'ng  table,  and  reached    his 
side  before  he  perceived   me.       Upon   looking  up,  his 
bronzed   face    Hushed   crimson,  and    he   hastily  turned 
upside  down  the  paper  upon  which  he  had  been  writin, 
and  appeared  so  embarrassed   that    I    could    not    he 
laughing  heartily  at  him  ;  and  to  this  day  we  seldom 
meet   but    that    the    memory    of  that    incident    b

The  .imp  was  l,.c,U..l  aixnit  si.K  miles  from  .Shelburn.^,  and  we  f,.nnd  it  without  difficulty.  Meside  a  beautiful

t'^vm  i)(  a  town  nearly  Mimmiulfcl  l)y  water.  The  sight  was  so  lieautirnl  that  we 
U  ailed  upon  the  driver  to  stop,  that  we  n)i>{ht  gaze  upon  the  stcne  and  fix  it  on 
(.III-  minds,  lor  never  had  we  <■  v  "bruptly  upon  one  so  lieautiCul.  Winding 
down  tile  side  of  a  gende  decline  the  road  niatle  its  way  to  a  siriistanlial  iron 
l)ridne  which  connected  what  seemed  to  Ix-  an  '.slaiid  witli  the  main  land.  !i«fyond

secttd  the  islanti  and  cut  it  up  into  sipiares  of  pretty  houses,  each  with  its  wc-ll 
kept  grounds  denoting  the  thrift  of  the  inhabitants.  To  the  left  of  ilu'  island 
the  bay  extended  inland  several  miles,  forming  various  little  harbors  and  dotted  with  pretty  verdure  covered  islantls, 
on  one  of  which— Carter's  islauil— stands  the  harbor  lighthouse.  To  the  right,  forming  a  bay  on  this  sitle  of  the 
town,  juts  t)Ut  a  long  promontory  which  bears  the  evidence  of  having  protected  the  town  from  many  a  severe 
storm,  yet  looking  pca^Hul  and  even  gay  in  its  summer  verdure.  In  fiMut  and  beyond  the  town  a  high  bluff  seem- 
ingly marks  the  furthest  boundary  of  the  island,  for  beyond  appears  the  limitless  expanse  of  old  ocean  as  liir  as  the 
eye  can  reach.  Later  we  learned  that  beyond  this  blulf  there  lay  Cranberry  Island,  forming  a  narrow  channel  which 
becomes  nearly  dry  at  'bb  tide.  Crossing  the  bridge  we  entered  the  town,  which  cootiiins  about  fourteen  hundred 
souls,  and  put  up  at  a  neat  little  hotel.  Ragged  Island,  as  this  place  was  (originally  called,  was  .settled  by  two  fami- 
lies, -  Luckes  and  Churchills,  — loyalists  who  came  from  Tlymouth  about  the  time  of  the  War  of  Independence,  and 
the  name  has  .since  been  changed  to  Lockeport.  The  dcscendcnts  of  these  two  f.unilies  have  remaineil  here,  ami,  in 
spite  of  its  present  population  of  '  nt  1400,  these  tw  names  are  so  common  in  the  town  that  one  might  almost 
belie\e  that  the  place  was  inhab  lirely  by  Lockes  and  Churchills.

dinner  Ma.x  took    his   camera   and    we   sauntered    over   to   Spy  Rock,  from    which    elevated    point    we  got  an  excellent

and  dashinj^  up  the  almost  level  surface  of  the  beach,  returns  to  mix  itself  with  the  incoming  wave.  I  he  white, 
silvery  sand',  full  of  mica  dust,  glistens  in  the  sun,  .m.l  even  when  i-erfectly  <lry  it  is  so  hard  that  it  does  not  show  a 
Seel  print.  No  wonder  that  everybody  in  town,  young  and  nld,  owns  a  oicyde.  No  wonder  that  the  boys 
like  t..  l)lay  cricket.  No  wonder  that  the  young  Udies"  are  rosy  cheeked  and  beautilul.  No  wt.nder  that  the 
young  men  are  so  strong  and  manlv.  With  such  a  beach  before  them  who  could  stay  iml..ors  when  there  was  a 
possible  chance  to  get  out.  Ami  the  residents,  too,  appreciate  their  privilege,  for  on  every  pleasant  altern..on 
and  evening  nearly  every  unoccupied  person  in  the  town  will  he  limnd  here  seeking  all  kuuls  of  amusement,  and 
many  bringing  their  fancy  work  t  >  find  a  cosy  nook  among  the  rocks  along  the  shore,  there  to  sit  and  sew  or 
crochet,  while  drinking  in  the  balni)'  breezes  of  old  ocean. 

Now  ami  then  the  sharp  crack  of  a  rlHe  or  th  report  of  a  fowling  piece  denotes  the  lall  ol  .i  .luck  ..r  coot.

Again,  shouts  :iml  bravos  are  heard,   and  there  is  a  bicycle  race  or  hr  .,0  trot  on  the  beach. 

In  fact,  hours  upon  hours  may  b.-  spent  here  and  the  senses  never  grow  weary,  for  here  there  is  constant  occu-

when  the  beauties  of  this  place  hetome  ^'enerally  known  it  will  be  aniuially

Again  Max  is  dreaming  of  Narmouth  while   I    i   i    drinking   in   the   beauties 
of  nature  — and  along  this  road  they  are  many-   t^e  brooks  and   rivers  empty-

^reverie,  an  I,  jumping  out  of  the  carriage,  he  rested  his  camera  on  the  railing 
of  the  bridge  and  "took"  OgJ.n  Brook.  It  was  a  charming  sjjot. 
On  one  side  of  the  bridge,  looking  up  the  stream,  the  brook  spread 
out  into  a  pool  of  still  water  from  which  the  overhanging  foliage  was 
vividly  reflected  in  all  its  beautiful  colorings.  Above  the  puui,  the 
brook,  until  its  winding  course  disao'^-.ircd  among  the  trees,  was  a

After  a  delightful  journey  we  arrived  at  Liverpo.^l,  and  soon  retired  to  sleep  as  only  those  can  slee])  who  spend

LIVERPOOL. 


IVP:R1'()()I.    came    into  existence  in    1759  or    '60.       Like   Vannoutli,   Siielbume  and   Lockejjort,  it 

was  settled  by  (iod- fearin.tr    Presbyterians  and   Bai)tists  from  New  PZnjrland  and  the  otlier   colonies. 

-^^       Here  are   some  of  the  original    proprietors:    Experience   Helms,    and  Eliakim,  Obediali   and 

Lemuel    Crosby.     In   1764  the  little  scai)ort  already  numbered  live  hundred  jjeople.      From 

that  time  until  after   the   close   of  the    Revolution    in    the   states    Liverpool    continued    to 

gnnv  steadily,   r.ot  only  in  i)opulation    but   also  in  ambition,   the   later  characteristic  never 

having  forsaken  her,    and   it  is   due   to   that   trait   that   she   possesses   so   many   advantages 

today  in  spite  of  her  many  drawbacks. 

Liverpool  has  now  grown  to  be  a  town  of  considerable  importance,  and  its  resiilents 
are  justly  proud  of  their  i)rogre-s.  They  are  liberal  in  public  improvements  and  determined 
m  their  efforts  to  make  the  most  of  what  nature  has  done  for  them  in  the  beautiful  location 
of  thei-  town  where  the  waters  of  the  river  Mersey  and  the  waters  of  the  ocean  mix.  Two 
\ears  ago  the  most  of  the  building;  along  the  harbor  front,  as  well  as  the  wharves,  were 
destroyed  by  tire,  but  they  were  immediately  rebuilt  in  a  handsome  and  substantir'  .:i,  nner  ;  and,  as 
"there  is  no  great  evil  without  some  small  good,"  to  this  fire  Liverpool  owes  the  po.ssession  of  o--  of  ■h.  finest  hotels 
m  the  provmce.  The  hotel  will  accommodate  a  large  number  of  guests,  and  is  .exceedingly  uell  co  uucted  imder  the 
management  of  its  accommotlating  proprietor.  The  town,  too,  has  other  hotels,  and  any  number  of  summer  visitors 
will  tmd  plenty  of  accommodation  for  any  length  of  time  they  may  desire  to  stay.  And  Liverpool  is  a  good  place 
in  which  to  sojourn  for  some  time.  There  are  plenty  of  points  of  interest  to  attract  die  tourisi,  and  jjlenty  of  amuse- 
ments for  those  who  remain.  Its  long  main  street,  bordered  by  large  shade  trees  and  substantial  residences,  makes 
a  beautiful  promenade  tor  a  summer's  evening,  and  furnishes  an  excellent  track  for  the  bicyclists,  who  are  numerous 
The  street  terminates  abruptly  ;it  Fort  Point,  a  tiny  peninsula,  where  the  old  fort  u.ed  to  str.nd,  but  where  now  stands 
the  lighthouse  which  guides  the  mariner  at  night  to  a  safe  harbor.  Fort  Point  is  also  utilized  as  a  public  park  and 
although  small  m  extent,    it    furnishes  much    of  the  out-door   pleasure    of  the    town.       Near    the   lighthou.se  is   a 'band

From  the  brow  of  Town  Hill,  on  the  stage  road  from  I.)ckcport.  a  hue 
.uw  of  the  town  is  obtained.     Hut  if  you  wi^h  to  see  a  fine  bit  of  scenery, 
Jross  the  ri\<r  and  ascend   to  the    summit  of  Wild   Cat,    the    highest  point 
of  laiui    for  miles  around.     From    here  a    long  stretch    of  the  shore  is    visi- 
ble,   as    well   as   the   bay   and    both   Liverpool   and   Hrooklyn    harbors.      To 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  the  northwest  the   Liverpool  River  winds  its  way  through  a  beautiful   valley 
HSKKtrSd^^SnSnvooded,   e.vcept   here  and    there  where    man    has   cleared   away  the  trees    and 
brushwood    and    a   cluster'  of  houses  rear  themselves  amidst  green  pastures  which    bear  evidence  ot   the  fertility  of  the 
soil  in  this  region,   until  it  disappears  among  the  hills  in   the    distance.      (Speaking   ol    the  soil,  as    many  as   six    tons 
of  hay   per  acre,   in  two  crops,   the  tirst  in   June,  and   the  second  in    September,  have   been  secured   trom   this   soil.  ) 
The   roads  along  the   shore  in    both  directions   are    excellent,  and  afford  great  pleasure  to  those  who   enjoy  nd.ng  or 
bicycling.     About  six  miles  from  Liverpool,  on  the  Brooklyn  side,  is  the  famous  Beach  Meadovvs  oeach.      To  the  wes 
of  Liverpool    is   Western    Head,    and  you  sh.^uld    by  all  means  drive   or   ride  out  here.       Such    rocky   walls,   against 
which  for  countless  centuries  the  mighty  At!.;.tic  has  hurled  her  mighty  waves  only  to  dash  them  into  boiling  cauldrons 
of  foam,  except   here   and   there  where   bits  of  shore   less  strong  to  resist  have  been  formed   into  quaint  coves,  which 

add  to  the  beauty  of  the  scene.  .,,.., 

The  tramway  from  Liverj^ool,  through  Milton   and   along  the  lovely  river   Mersey,  to   the  pulp  mills,  lurmshes   a 

novelty  in  the  way  of  a  ride,  and  the  genial   manager  of  the  mills  will  show  you   how  spruce  logs  are  converted  into 

pulp,  which  in  turn  is  converted  into   every  conceivable  form  of  paper.                                              ,      ,      ■        r    ,      ., 

Milton  itself  only  two  and  one-half  miles  from  Liverpool,  is  a  beautiful  village,  located  on  the  ham:s  of  the  Mer- 
sey, where  the  salmon  disport  themselves  in  all  the  glory  of  that  noble  rtsh.  Thirty  salmon  is  no  unusual  catch  in 
one  day  by  the  local  fisherman.

•-^, 


BRIDGEWATER  ON  THE  LA  HAVE. 


H!-;  La  Have  River  is  called  by  some  the  Rhine,  aiul  by  others  the  Rhone  of  Nova  Scotia.  Beyond 
doulit  it  is  the  most  beanJful  river  in  the  ])ro\ince.  Fourteen  miles  from  its  mouth  is  located  the 
Kautilnl  town  of  Brid<>e\vater,  where  many  sunnner  tourists  fnul  themselves  located,  year  after  year, 
Ijecausc  of  the  many  facilities  it  otfers  for  attractive  side  trips,  as  well  as  the 
beauty  of  the  place  itself.  And  Hridgewatcr  f's  beautiful.  Cross  the  bridge  and 
walk  for  miles  up  and  down  the  river  and  you  will  fmd  it  difficult  to  get  any 
adeciuate  idea  of  the  town  from  what  you  can  see.  Why  ?  Because  you  are 
looking  upon  the  side  of  a  steeply  sloping  hill,  and,  except  for  the  water  front, 
all  you  can  see  is  an  occasional  row  of  roof  tops  breaking  through  the  luxuriant 
foliage  of  the  shade  trees  which  line  both  sides  of  every  street.  Bridgewater  is 
young  compared  to  the  places  we  have  been  visiting,  but  she  has  made  good 
use  of  the  f.fty  years  of  her  existence.  Few  i)laccs  in  ;iie  province  have  so  ample  and  well  appointed  a  court  house, 
so  capacious  a  music  hall,  and  such  a  handsome  ,ud  substantial  railway  station.  There  is  a  spirit  of  enterprise  that 
impresses  you  immediately,  and  after  you  recognize  it  you  no  longer  wonder  how  the  people  climb  the  steep  sides  of 
the  hill  from  one  street  to  another.  Imagine  a  stairway  of  streets.  That  is  Bridgewater.  From  the  river  front  to  the 
brow  of  the  hill  street  after  street  runs  parallel  with  the  river,  with  just  room  enough  between  to  allow  a  good-sized 
backyard  or  orchard  for  the  houses  whicli  line  the  streets,  and  at  regular  distances  others  intersect  these  from  the 
river  to  the  top  of  the  hill.  As  you  stand  at  the  bottom  of  one  of  these  streets,  you  are  not  at  a  loss  to  understand 
how  people  come  down  in  the  winter,  but  the  thing  that  will  trouble  you  is,   how  do  they  get  up? 

Bul  it  is  beautiful  and  novel  as  well,  and  you  will  find  so  many  ways  to  utilize  your  time, — excursions  clown 
the  ri\er  and  excursions  up  the  river.  Trips  to  the  Nictaux  Mountains,  drives  into  the  country,  and  sails  down  to 
Mahone   Bay,    music  and  mirth.     Such  is  life  at    Bridgewater. 

Bridgewater  is  the  headciuarters  of  the  Nova  .Scotia  Central  Railway,  which  cros.ses  llic  province  from  Middleton 
on  tlie  north,   where  it  connects  with   the   Dominion    Atlantic    Railway    between    Yarmouth  and    HaliHix,   to  Lunenburg

MAHONE,  LUNENBURG,  AND  CHESTER. 

*^^ld5  '  ^'  "^I I R  E¥,  uiMiis  nf  tin-  coast  are  these  dear  little  towns,  with  their  picturesque  beauty 
-  -  ■  ^  1  nlianccd  by  the  many  ]K)ints  of  interest,  historic  and  otherwise,  which  are  within  easy 
reach  ot"  any  of  them  ;  the  beautiful  drives  along  the  shore ;  the  elegant  opportunities 
offered  for  sailing  in  and  about  Mahone  Bay,  with  its  many  romantic  coves  and  its  three 
hundred  and  sixty-five  emerald  carpeted  isles  ;  the  fine  bathing  on  any  of  the  numerous 
l:ieaches  ;  and  the  many  opportunities  for  social  enjoyment  to  be  found  in  any  of  these 
towns. 

Mahone  is  cosily  cuddled  about  it;:  pretty  harbor,  only  thirty  minutes'  ride  from 
Hridgewater,  through  a  beautiful  country  along  the  La  Have  River,  and  past  many  lakes 
and  streams.  It  is  blessed  wi^h  one  of  those  rare  little  hotels,  with  its  bowered  portico 
f  nestling  under  the  trees,  where  home  food  of  the  best  quality  and  cooked  with  a  degree 
of  skill  unexcelled  by  the  best  c/ic/  of  New  York,  can  be  obtained.  You  would  fain  tarry 
here,  but  if  you  desire  to  make  the  tour  of  tiie  province  with,  us  come  now  to  Chester,  at 
the  head  of  Mahone  Hay. 
Chester  is  se\en  miles  sail  from  Mahone,  or  twice  that  distance  along  the  winding  shore  road,  but  the  beauties 
of  either  route  are  so  fascinating  that  you  will  be  sorry  when  the  trip  is  over.  There  are  few  bits  of  road  in  the 
province  finer  than  that  fourteen-mile  drive,  half  of  it  lying  close  along  the  water's  edge,  the  dancing  waves  almost 
at  your  feet,  the  bay  stretching  away  to  the  east,  and  ocean's  horizon  closing  the  picture  in  the  distance.  Here  the 
bicyclist  will  be  in  his  glory,   and  many  are  they  who  avail  themselves  of  this  bi  autifui.  road. 

Chester   is   more   like  a  summer    resort    than   any  place   you    have   .seen    sinc( 
leaving  Yarmouth,  and  when  its  facilities  for  this  ]nn-pose  have  been  fully  utilized  itl 
will  stand,  /"J>'  exccllevce^   high  in  tiie  favor  vi/i  those  who  have  enjoyed   its  rliarni

THE  PIRATE'S  GOLD. 

T  is  a  most  upliCinK  sensation,  to  stand  in  the  presence  t.f  ten  million  <iollars  of  soutul,  solid,  sl,inin«  lm>'  1

)^  told  m  two  short  chapters. 

_  CuAl'TKR   I.     We  know  very  little    about    the   personality  of  the   late  Captain   Kidd        lie  was 

.a    busy  .nan,    and    chd    not    stop    to    urite    his   autobiography.       There    is   every    reason    to    believe, 

.^  /however,  that  he  was  not  all  that  he  should  have  been,  and ,  that  he  spent  a  very  considerable 
part  of  h,s  hfe  scounng  the  high  seas  and  taking  everything  that  he  found.  Now  the  question 
arises    what  d.d    he    do    w>th  it?       He    buried    it   somewhere,   without   auv  doubt;    and  a  great  many 

people  have  thought,  ever  since    this  enterprising  and  secretive  gentle.uen  died  two  luuuire.l    years  ago 
that  he  l)uried  it  somewhere  along  the  south  shore  of  Nova   Scotia.  '  '

They  tasted  of  it,  and  it  was  salt.      These  jjood   people    had    been    trying  tor 

fifty  years  to  hail  ont  the  Atlantic  Ocean.      Tlicn  they  sat  down  and  thoujfht, 

and  this  is  what  they  evolved  :      Captain   Kidd  had  not  only  hnried    his  j;()l<l 

a  hundred  feet  deep,   but  he    had    duj;  a  tunnel  from  the  shore  three  hundred 

and  sixty-five  feet  away,   letting  the  water  down  around    his  treasure,  so  that  even 

after    ])eopIe    found    it    they    couldn't    get    it.       They    proceeded    to   hunt    for    tli 

tunnel.     Thcv  found  a  ])lace  on  the  shore  that  looked  as  if  sluices  ha('    been  built  ihen 

let  the  water  into  some  subterranean  pa.s.sage.     They  tried  to  dam  it  up,  l)Ut  the  tides  U< 

the  dam  away  ;   then  they  determined   to  dig  down   and   strike   the   tunnel    somewhere   in    its   course,  and   drive  piles 

into  it  so  as  to  keep  the  water  out  ;   and    they  dug   two    holes,  one  .seventy-five  feet  deep   and    one    forty.       The  first 

missed  the  tunnel,  and   the   second    hit   it  ;   but   they  didn't   have  anything  to  drive  the  jiiles  with.      Then  they  went 

back   to   the   original   digging   again,   and   dug   another   shaft   one   hundred   and   eighteen   feet  deep,    and   again    were 

drowned  out.     Tlien  they  got  very  tired  and  waited  for  thirteen  years,  until   1H63,  when  mother  company  wi's  formed. 

Tiiey  took    pngines   to   the  spot  to  bail  out  the  shafts  ;    but  it  takes  a  large  engine  to  keep  up  with   the  Atlantic  ;   so 

they  gave  it  up. 

Undaunted  by  a  hundred  years  of  failure,  another  company  was  organized  a 

few  years  ago,  and  there  they  are  hard  at  work  again.     They  are  digging  a  shaft 

now  with  the  intention  of  getting  underneath   the   tunnel    that   lets  the  water  in, 

when  they  ho;)e  to  draw   the  water  off,  long  enough  at  least  to  let  them  fill  up 

so  that  they  can  get  down  to  the  captain's  two  nv.llion  pounds  dry-handed. 

it    is    half-past    four,    ant!    you    will    liave    tu    paddle    back    tu    Martin's    River    and

breathed    fearful   menace  anainsl   the   hardy   voyagers  who   had  dared  to    invade 
their  domain.     Amid  difficulties  and  dangers  the  settlement  was  bej,Min.     Arduous 
f  thou^.h  the  task,  the  forest  was  felled,  dwellingH  were  created,  and  soon  all  was

C.Mitined    at  first    within    a    space   bounded    l)y    Harrington,    Salter,  and    lUickiuKdiam

by  her  sports  and  pastimes,  and  enraptured  by  the  sights  she  can  show  them.  Here  is  tiie  land  ;  tliere  the  sea. 
Would  you  walk,  drive,  hunt  or  shoot?  Would  you  row,  sail,  bathe  or  fish?  Each  and  all  are  open  to  you.  Would 
novel  sights  and  sounds  amuse  you?  Then,  again,  will  Halifax  fiirnisii  such  entertainment  as  can  be  had  nowhere  else 
in  America.  in  the  spacious  roadsteads  may  be  seen  mock  battles  of  the  war-ships  with  each  other  and  with 
the  forts  ;  on  shore  the  sham  fights  of  the  garrison,  divided  for  the  occasion  into  opposing  forces.  To  this  is  added 
a  sunuiier  climate,  clear,  cool  and  healthfiil  ;  scenery  and  surroundings  of  extreme  beauty  ;  and  a  hospitality  which  the 
visitor  has  ever  found  warm  and  true. 

We  have  not  space  to  tell  half  the  wonders  of  old  Halifax,  but  its  Public  Garden  and  Point  Pleasant  Park  alone 
will  furnish  days  and  weeks  of  pleasure,  and  there  is  so  much  that  is  novel  and  interesting  wherever  you  go  that 
the  mind  never  grows  weary.  '

passing 


one 


SKle    to  the   other,    with   a    fortification    at    each    end,    called    McNabb's    Island.      Away   over   to    the 
east  of  us  appeared  Devil's   Island,   with  ,ts  two  lighthonses.     lU,t   now  onr  attention  is  attracted  to    , 
a  high  chl    on  our  right,   ns.ng    precipitous  and    sheer,    with    fortifications   on    its   summit.      That  isV 
Vork    Redoubt,    where  some   of  Victoria's   largest   and    deadliest 
guns  are  mounted,   pointed   out  towards   the  month  of  the    har- 
bor,   grim    warning    for   those   who   have   no   business    there    to 
keep  out. 

Our   boat   skims    over   the    water   like   a   bird   and   soon   we 

are    to   the    westward    of    Ketch's    Harbor,    making    for   Sambro 

Island,   with   Mount  Aspotogon  beyond.      Now,   after  three  hours 

sail,   we  have  passed  Margaret  and  Mahone  Bays  and  are  again 

at    Lunenburg.       Embarking    on    the    train,    we    again    journey 

along  the  beautiful  La  Have,  and  in  about  two  hours  we  begin  TiinTiiT- 

to  wind  along   the  side  of  a  ravine  in  Nictaux    Mountains,    rising  gradualTu^^ 

the  "ghtupona  scene  of  grandeur  in  strange  contrast  to  that  which  but  a  short  time  before  greeted  our  eyes 
'^^  '  "^  '^'""8^  '•'^'  ^'-'''^^  "f"  tl>e  peaceful  river.  Looking  down  over  the  tops  of  the  high 
trees, -down,  down,  down,  thousands  of  feet  -  our  gaze  was  finally  caught  by  the 
dashing  waters  of  Nictaux  River,  showing  here  and  there  among  the  trees  as  it 
wound  Its  foaming  course  at  the  bottom  of  the  ravine.  Beyond  again  rose  the 
heavily  wooded  slopes  of  the  highest  peaks  of  the  mountains,  looking  grim  and 
misty  in  the  distance  as  its  outline  broke  against  the  clear  blue  sky,  except  here  and 
there  where  the  fleecy  white  clouds  apparently  mingled  with  the  tree  tops  and  hid 
tiie  mountain  from  view. 

Tiie  foaming  waters  of  the  Nictaux  caught  the  artist  eye  of  Max,  and  nothing 
would  prevent  him  from  making  a  descent  to  a  point  from  which  he  could  use  his 
camera,  .so,    preceeded    by    one  of  the    railroad  men,    who   u.sed    his    hatchet    to    clear

on  which  the  town  is  situated.  To  the  ri^fht,  flowing  into  the  Avon,  is  ihr  St.  Croix,  from  whose  banks,  a  few 
miles  up,  they  quarry  great  (luantities  of  gypsum  ;  wliile  hack  of  you  lies  ihe  town  sheltered  by  encircling  hills. 
Windsor's  second  attraction,  perhaps  its  first  in  point  of  unitpic  interest,  is  the  Avon  River.  Looking  out  on  it 
now  you  see  a  broad,  ruddy  river  a  half-mile  wide.  Big  ships,  four-masted  schooners,  and  deeii-draught  square- 
riggers  are  sailing  over  its  waters;  but  if  you  look  for  that  same  river  a  few  hours  later  you  will  find  it  gone- 
evaporated— vanished.  You  can  walk  across  it  and  scarcely  wet  your  feet;  and  the  big  ships  are  now  tied  taunt 
to  the  wharf  their  keels  a  good  fifteen  feet  above  the  tiny  rills  of  water  that  trickle  along  the  river  bed.  The 
Avon   River  is  but  an  arm  of  the  Basin  of  Minas,   and  tlie  tide  rises  and  falls  here  thirty-five  and  forty  feet. 

Of  course  you  must  go  to  see  ".Sam  Slick's"  house.  You  will  find  it  a  modest  one  story  building,  but 
imposing  for  all  that,  with  its  dignified  architecture  and  its  commanding  positioij.  The  people  of  Windsor  point 
with  pride  to  this  old  house,  and  well  they  may,  for  the  learned  jurist  and  merry  wit  who  was  known  to  the  world 
of  jurisprudence  as  Judge  Haliburton,  and  to  the  world  of  humor  as  "Sam  Slick,"  passed  many  years  of  his  life 
there  After  visiting  the  "Sam  Slick"  estate,  if  you  will  keep  on  the  .same  street  a  short  half-mile  further,  you 
will  come  to    King's   College,    one   of  the   oldest   institutions  of  learning  in    the    province. 

It  is  only  a  matter  of  twelve  or  thirteen  miles  from  Windsor  to  Grand  Pr6,  which  Longfellow  made  most 
famous  of  all  Nova  Scotian  towns.  It  is  an  interesting  ride, —  interesting  because  of  its  scenery,  a  constant  blcnd- 
ii.g   of  green    bank    and    deep    red    water,    and    interesting   also    because    of  its    history  ;    for   all   this    country    through 

which  you  are  now  riding  belonged  to  the  ill-fated  Acadians  who  a  centu.y 
and  a  half  ago  were  driven  so  mercilessly  from  their  happy  homes.  Soon 
you  are  at  Horton's  Landing,  where  you  cross  the  mouth  of  the  (laspereau 
River.  It  was  here  tliat  tlie  Acadians  were  dri\en  on  to  the  ships,  to  be 
scattered  far  and  wide  in  distant  lands.  A  few  minutes  later  you  stop  at  the 
station  of  (irand  Pre.  If  you  have  ever  wanted  to  know  whether  or  not 
;,••"•!!  possessed  the  poetic  temperament,  you  can  now  .setlle  l!ic  i[tie:itiun  for 
all  time  ;  for  Grand  Pre  will  prove  a  perfect  test.  If  you  are  a  plain  person 
of  i)rose,   when   you  get  out   at    the  little  station    you   will    exclaim,    "Well,    I

,   lor  tnerc  art   several   schools   here,  chu-f   among  them  Acadia  College.     You  will 

59 


notice  its  principal  bnildinj,'.  a  hij^  white  structure  halt"  way  up  the  hill,  that  looks  like  a  small 
fdition  of  the  capitol  at  VVashinjfton.  It  will  well  repay  you,  by  the  way,  to  cliinb  that  hill, 
kttpinjj  on  past  the  colUjje  !i  rjuarter  of  a  mile  till  you  come  to  the  top  of  the  "  Ridne." 
Vou  yet  a  ),{lorious  view.  To  the  north  roils  the  IJasin,  mile  after  mile  past  distant  Hlomitlon 
to  the  shores  of  Cumberland  and  Clochcster,  twenty  miles  away  ;  while  immediately  at  your 
feet  nestles  the  pretty  little  town  of  VVoIfville.  Turning  around  to  the  south  what  a  contrast  ! 
There,  nestleil  between  two  mountain  ritlyes,  is  the  little  valley  of  (laspereau,  too  excjuisite  to 
seem  real.  It  lies  before  you  so  hushed,  so  trancpiil,  so  out  of  accord  with  this  jarrinj^, 
rushing  world  th.nt  you  will  rub  your  eyes  to  see  if  it  is  not  a  dream.  Down  in  the  middle 
of  the  valley,  possibly  three-fjuarters  of  a  mile  frcm  whtre  you  stand,  is  the  little  village, 
looking  so  white  where  everything  else  is  green.  Running  through  this  and  zigzagging  along 
down  the  valley,  side  by  side  with  the  winding  (iaspercau  River,  runs  the  roadway,  a  slen- 
der thread  of  brown.  There  is  not  a  sound  to  break  the  stillness  except  the  drowsy,  far- 
away tinkle  ul  a  cowbell  and  the  faint  lis])ing  of  the  gossipy  brook, —  a  symphony  of  verdure,  sunshine,  and  silence. 
Wni    will    hate   uns])eakal)ly   to  leave   that   chartning   s|M)t. 

It  is  a  charming  ride  on  the  Dominion  Atlantic  road  from  Kentville  to  Annapolis,  a  stretch  of  sixty  miles  down 
the  Annapolis  Valley.  Vou  will  soon  notice  a  little  muddy  stream  creeping  stealthily  along  at  your  right.  That 
is  the  beginning  of  the  Annapolis  River.  It  grows  larger  and  larger,  and  by  the  time  you  have  crossed  it  at  Paradise 
it  has  become  a  sizable  river.  Half  way  in  your  ride  you  come  to  Middleton,  notable  by  reason  of  the  mineral 
springs  that  lie  near  by,  and  because  the  Dominion  Atlantic  road  is  here  met  by  the  Central,  which  runs  across  the 
peninsula   from   Lunenburg  on   the  south  shore. 

You  must  indeed  be  a  singularly  insensible  person  if  you  do  not  feel  a  distinct  thrill  as  the  train  pulls  in  at  the 
station  at  Annapolis,  and  you  find  yourself  in  the  oldest  town,  with  the  sole  exception  of  St.  Augustine,  on  the 
American  continent.  It  was  founded  in  1604.  That  was  three  years  before  Jamestown  and  a  good  twenty-six  years 
before  Boston  came  into  existence  ;  so  you  see  that  you  are  in  the  presence  of  \enerable  antiquity.  Vou  probably 
will   be  most  interested  in   the    old    P'ort  —  the  general    outlines    of    which    are   still    intact.      Vou    are   still    obliged    to

sell  licenses.    It  is  the  intention  of  the  Game  Society  rigorously  to  enforce  the  above  laws,  and  therefore  this  publicity  has  been  given  to  them.
